Novel nanoparticles could save soldiers’ lives after explosions
"Steroid-Loaded Hemostatic Nanoparticles Combat Lung Injury after Blast Trauma"
Building on past research in this area, the researchers paired clot-promoting nanoparticles with a corticosteroid that stops inflammation. They injected the particles in rats within 10 minutes of traumatic injury and found the therapeutic compound increased oxygen levels, and reduced internal bleeding and cellular damage in the lungs. The researchers conclude that the nanoparticles could be a good candidate to develop further for emergency trauma care.
